Jim Lantz Memorial Scholarship Application The Sidney-Shelby County YMCA, in collaboration with generous benefactors, established the Jim Lantz Memorial Scholarship in 2011 in memory of Jim Lantz. Jim was a sophomore at Sidney High School. Tragically, he died in an automobile accident in November of 1986. He would have graduated in June 1989. Jim had planned to go to medical school, and his dream was to become a doctor. He played football and basketball and he was a 4.0 student.
